There are structures, villages and sites representing three
centuries of history and 12,000 years of prehistory in nearly
every town in Vermont. These reminders of how people lived with
the land in the past are perhaps the most comprehensive physical
expression of who we are and where we came from. Saving them
as we grow and develop will help keep Vermont a special place
in the future.
In order to assist the public in the protection of Vermont's
many historic and archeological resources, the Division for
Historic Preservation has prepared the Vermont
Historic Preservation Plan. The Plan summarizes nine important
themes in Vermont's history and describes the types of sites
and structures related to these themes:
• Agriculture
•Transportation
•Industry & Commerce
•Native American Prehistory
•Tourism
•Historic Architecture & Patterns of Town Development
•Culture & Government
In addition, the plan involves interested Vermonters in proposing
activities that can be undertaken at the local, regional and
state levels to preserve these resources.
